## Affected packages

- `wwbn/avideo` (Packagist): affected `<=12.4`; no fixed version yet

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> WWBN AVideo (wwbn/avideo) versions up to and including 12.4 are affected. The flaw is in the captcha validation of the password recovery script, userRecoverPass.php. A specially crafted HTTP request can silently create a password recovery code for any user. No fixed version is listed, and the source gives few details on exploitation conditions.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-8m5f-2xvp-2c8w>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
